steps:
put on music & set the mood. this is an important part of my kitchenwitchery! sometimes i'll lay a compass in the kitchen.
in a pot, add 1/4 to 1/2 stick of butter (or olive oil) and melt, then add diced onion, carrot, and leeks. call upon the spirits of onion, carrot, and leek as you put them into the pot, requesting their assistance of providing their protective virtues unto this meal. stir the vegetables clockwise, winding the hips in the same direction, and say the lord's prayer (or another protective incantation) into the pot. sometimes i will sing ave maria while i stir.
once vegetables are tender and translucent, add minced garlic and fennel, and seasonings. repeat the calling upon of the aromatics & seasonings, as well as the stirring clockwise & prayer over the pot.
add some broth into the pot, then add cream of mushroom/chicken soup & more broth. stir clockwise with prayer until fully incorporated.
kiss bay leaf with protective intention then add into the pot, add potatoes, cover, and pray over the pot before leaving to boil.
mix 1:1 mashed potatoes with all-purpose flour and ~1 tbsp salt, then combine into a dough, adding more flour if necessary. while kneading the dough, use the right hand to knead, and pray for protection over the dough.
once potatoes are soft, divide dough using fingers and place into the dough. say one line of the lord's prayer for each dough knob dropped into the soup. cover again and let boil.
remove bay leaf before serving, and top with sour cream and/or parmesan cheese.

potato 🥔
In some areas of Europe, the Potato was considered aphrodisiac. The poisonous fruits, which contain the steroidal glycoside solanine (C45H73NO15), were used in love-philters of the 17th century. In Russian folklore, the Potato is a plant of Grange and maligned origin, originating from the anus of a magician’s corpse. Nigel Pennick, in his Secrets of East Anglian Magic, relays the modern magical use of mummified potatoes as talismans against cramp and rheumatism. Carried on the person, these shrunken tubers may be considered part of the larger corpus of magic known as root-charming. The practice is also known in various regions of North America, such as the Ozark Mountains.
